Deploy EKS environment with applications using the aws cdk

Prerequisites

• aws-cdk 1.66.0
• python 3.6

Deploy

$ npm install -g aws-cdk
$ pip install -r requirements.txt    # Best to do this in a virtualenv
$ cdk diff                           # View proposed changes
$ cdk deploy                         # Deploys the CloudFormation template

# Cleanup
$ cdk destroy

Purpose

The purpose of this demo is to show a full end to end deployment experience that includes a cluster and services, all in one cdk application. I also built this in a way to show how a team could build custom constructs to add their own requirements on top of the cdk constructs.
